We are delighted you've chosen UC as your new home, and we are confident you'll find your experience to be a remarkably rewarding one.
Our top priority is to assist you in making a successful academic and social transition into the UC community. For this reason, all new freshmen students are required to attend an orientation program before their first semester of classes. New first-year students will not be able to register for classes until they have attended orientation.
We encourage you to make the most of your orientation and set the foundation for a successful University of Cincinnati undergraduate experience.
Bearcats Bound Orientation
Bearcats Bound Orientation takes place between June and July. All first-year students entering in the fall semester are required to attend this comprehensive two-day program.
During Bearcats Bound Orientation, you will learn about academic policies, college procedures and graduation requirements for your program. You will receive academic advice, register for your first semester classes and find out what you need to succeed in your college program.
You'll also learn about campus life and student activities, and have the option to spend a night or two in one of the residence halls.
You'll meet new and current students, faculty and administrators. And you'll also have the opportunity to take care of any unfinished university business.
Parents Orientation
Parents and families play an integral role in the successful transition of their son or daughter to college. We have designed a special orientation for parents with a host of sessions and events that will explore the many changes parents face when their students go to college. Several general information sessions will address areas such as safety, health issues, financing college and life in the residence halls.
Parents will meet with advisors from the colleges to discuss course and academic major areas and graduation requirements. Parents will learn about the UC Parents Association and have the opportunity to join. All programs will be informal with plenty of opportunities to ask questions as well as meet presenters and other parents.

Hotline Tip: How Do I Report An Improper Notarization?
If I see someone notarizing documents without the signer present, what should I do? – C.M., Miami, Florida
To perform a notarization, the very first thing that must happen is the principal signer must personally appear before the Notary. If you know of someone who is notarizing documents without the principal signer appearing before the Notary, they should be reported to your state's Notary-regulating agency. In Florida, this would be the Department of State, Division of Corporations, Notary Commissions and Certifications Section. Their phone number is 1-850-245-6975, and their mailing address is: P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314.

Must be Union Rules.
I live on the 11th floor of a building and need the building to shut off water so a plumber can replace my shower valve. The plumber is being paid by the hour. How long after the building shuts off the water can the work commence? He says he has to wait at least an hour after the water is shut off until he starts.
hmm, so there's no real need to wait?
He'll need to wait for all the water above to drain out, but other than that there's no other need to wait.
I'm more amazed that each unit does not have it's own shut-off. That stinks for all the other residents.
He can start work as soon as he is able to control the water inside the pipes. Sometimes that means immediately if he can stop the flow long enough to install control valves, or a long time if he has to wait for all the water to drain down from the higher levels. In addition, water working the way it does, even after he starts to work if someone higher up opens a faucet and breaks the suction holding the water in their pipes, it can flow down and interfere with the work he is doing.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
There are ways to make this faster, but not everyone has the tools to do it. There are machines that can freeze the pipe to block water and there is a tool called JetSwet (may not have that spelled right for their trade name) that, once you have the water off, you can use that tool to block the water immediately. You'd use that to install an intermediate shutoff valve, then do the rest of your plumbing, while the rest of the building has water restored. You could cut the pipe and insert the JetSwet almost immediately after the pressure was off as it acts like a valve to hold the water back while you install a new valve. Once it is soldered in, you can remove the JetSwet, shut the new valve, then turn the water back on and then complete the rest since you now have a new, local shutoff. You just can't solder things while there is a constant drip of water in the pipes, and stopping it can take a very long time (or not).
You may be on the 11th floor, but if there are lots of floors above, it becomes a bigger unknown as HJ said. Think finger over the end of a straw...someone opening a valve above can release water that was trapped. Since valves are not all created equal, under vacuum, they may leak while not leaking under pressure, then, if someone has a leaky faucet or say toilet valve somewhere above you, it could leak for hours.
To give you an idea, here's the instructions for the JetSwet... http://www.brenelle.com/index.php?type=how
Depending on the hourly rate, if he didn't have one, it might be cheaper to buy one and let him use it so he wasn't sitting around twiddling his thumbs (but, depending on the scope of the job, he may be able to prep other things while the water stops dripping.

Depends on where he is in relation to the bottom of the stack and how many floors are above him. He may be giving his estimated time based on prior experience in the building. Sometimes shutting the water down can be a time consuming operation in itself, shutting down pumps and so forth. Sometimes there are no isolation valves on individual stacks or they are old gate valves that don't hold so the entire building has to be shut down and drained.
A jet sweat would be out of the question unless you plan on using it after the majority of the water is drained and you use it to stop the residual you get from stacks. It will cut some time but the water still needs to be drained first.
There is a third option called an add a valve that can be installed on a pipe under pressure and then is just buried in the wall when finished, ut it is an expensive option
Last edited by johnjh2o1; 09-21-2012 at 05:26 AM.
If the valve needed to be accessed then by code it cannot be buried. However a valve that has no other purpose but is a temporary measure wouldn't fall into that catagory. Newer buildings generally have isolation valves but in years past it wasn't considered a necessity. The only high rise I saw with PRV off the stacks where the water was fed down from the roof. They didn't have a conventional PRV but a specialized valve for that purpose with no isolation valve. Even then there wasn't one installed on every floor. The stacks are usually zoned and each zone has it's pressure set individually for it's zone. It's possible in this case that the bottom zone covers the first 10 floors, then he would be on the bottom of the stack in his zone. There are too many variables involved to make a distinction of how to address his particular situation.
The JetSwet specs say it will hold at up to 65# of pressure, depending on the height of water above, after you've turned off the supply, it should hold. If you let out the initial pressure and had other valves in the room open, while it would be messy until you got it in and sealed, you should be able to do it. You would need access to the new valve, which might be a problem.
If there's a place where you could shut off all the water to your unit, rather than do this in your bathroom, you might install it there. Then, you'd be able to do maintenance easier in the future without having to shut the building's water off.

Many high rises around here are fed with a booster pump system that requires PRV valves on the lower floors. And as far a valve goes whatever there used for isolation or not they can't be behind walls.

By Ward Connerly
David Leonhardt, an economics columnist for the New York Times, recently visited the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and took a careful look at the current admissions process of that campus in the wake of Proposition 209, the California ballot initiative that outlawed race and gender preferences in public education, as well as in public employment and contracting. In particular, Leonhardt examined the application and the fate of one Francis Harris, a black student from Sacramento, who became the case study for his article. Here is how Leonhardt describes Ms. Harris:
She has managed to do very well in very difficult circumstances, and she is African-American. Her high school, in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento, was shut down as an irremediable failure the spring before her freshman year, then reopened months later as a charter school. Midway through high school, her father developed heart problems and became an irritable fixture around the home. She also discovered that he was not actually her biological father. That was a man named Leroy who, when her mother took Harris to see him, simply said his name was George and waited for her to leave. In Harris's senior year, her mother lost her job at a nursing home and the family filed for bankruptcy... Harris, for instance, scored a 22 on the ACT test - slightly above the national average and well below the U.C.L.A. average.
The underlying question posed by Leonhardt with regard to Harris is the extent to which her "disadvantages" should factor into her application for admission to U.C.L.A. As did Leonhardt, most college admissions officers look primarily at one facet of Harris's life: "...she is African-American." They start from the premise stated by Peter Taylor, a good friend mentioned in Leonhardt's column, that "race has an enormous effect on the lives of applicants."
The fact of the matter, however, is that while Harris's life circumstances have been "difficult," difficult circumstances are not confined to black students. There is absolutely nothing in the description about Harris that is uniquely an obstacle confronted by blacks. Whites have also been known to file for bankruptcy and to have parental inadequacies. Asian and white kids also attend unstable schools. Yet, because Harris is black, every disadvantage in her life is interpreted as a problem engendered because of her "race." And, those who support race preferences want to use the tool of "affirmative action" to compensate for those supposed "effects of being black." They want to do that which the United States Supreme Court forbids them from doing: "curing societal ills." In the absence of Prop. 209, they could hide behind the fig leaf of "diversity," but Prop. 209 removed their ability to do that in California.
U.C.L.A administrators and individuals such as Taylor operate from the perspective that Prop. 209 has "created a patently impossible situation." They want to admit more blacks but recognize that "at every rung of the socioeconomic ladder, the academic record of black students is worse than that of other groups." In addition, the socioeconomic conditions of many Asians, for example, are worse than those of blacks. That is why Taylor says in Leonhardt's column that "there is no proxy for race." To their credit, they would prefer to solve the problem without "breaking the law," although I am certain that breaking the law is not a fatal challenge for them. The temptation to skirt or subvert the law is certainly there. Chris Reed, an editorial writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, called Leonhardt's piece "a 4,800-word article explaining and implicitly praising the possibly illegal ways that UC officials got around Proposition 209 and its ban on racial considerations in admission."
The irony is that in a formally "colorblind" admissions structure - no race "boxes" on the application, no encouragement to applicants to convey their racial background in essays, no intent on the part of admissions officers to find proxies for race - U.C.L.A. could admit the Francis Harris's of our society with few complaints from hardly anyone.
Most Americans do not expect academic institutions to make their admissions decisions based solely on grade point averages and standardized test scores. As a UC Regent, I was the one to include what ultimately become known as "comprehensive review" in my resolution (SP-1) to end preferential treatment. If U.C.L.A. would simply accept the will of the people that race should not be a factor, either explicitly or "under the table," abandon their foolish attempts to "level the playing field" based on race, and establish their credibility with the public as a fair and race-neutral entity, then they could admit whomever they want and carry the presumption of innocence about race that needs to become the model of the future for pluralistic societies.
Anyone familiar with admissions and the U.C.L.A. experience for the 2007 academic year should certainly know that U.C.L.A. has somehow broken the law. When Tom Lifka, a U.C.L.A. assistant vice chancellor who oversees admissions, said "It's the fallacy of 209 that you can immediately move to a system that doesn't take account of race and that treats everybody fairly," the implicit message was that U.C.L.A. is still using race, but perhaps not to the extent that was previously the case. To believe otherwise doesn't pass the giggle test. The problem is that one year's experience is not the smoking gun that will be necessary to prove discrimination. But, one or two more years of statistics that parallel this year's and the legal inoculation that U.C.L.A. believes it has will become quite tenuous. As it is, it is my view that U.C.L.A. is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Considering all of this, Leonhardt asks the very important questions that begged to be asked: "So what if U.C.L.A. is somehow taking into account the disadvantages that black students face because of their race? Isn't that legal? And isn't it just?" First, there is no evidence that the disadvantages that black students face result uniquely from their race. If Francis Harris is the example of such disadvantages, then the proponents of race preferences have a very tough set of circumstances to overcome to make their case that blacks deserve a preferential treatment in college admissions. Second, it is not legal to use race as a way of assisting black students overcome the supposed disadvantages that they face because of their race. The Supreme Court and the people of California have already passed judgment on this question. Finally, it is not "just" for public institutions to practice discrimination based on the "race" or skin color of an individual. If that fact is not settled by now, then the past 40-plus years of American history have taught us nothing.
The most useful lesson to be learned from Leonhardt's article is that it would be prudent for those on both sides of the race preferences in college admissions debate to work toward some acceptable compromise for the good of our nation. I have a proposal. To begin, there can be no middle ground about the use of race. This is not an area where one can fudge or cheat just a little bit. Either we permit the use of "race" in American life or we don't. I say, "We don't!" The proponents of race simply must relent on that point.
The opponents of race preferences tend to believe in academic meritocracy - and I am among them. Where we must compromise, however, is in how we view "merit." We must also understand the national imperative of providing access to low income students and to those who are confronted with disadvantages that impede their ability to lead productive lives and to demonstrate their potential value to American society. It is not in our national interest to have hordes of people standing on the sidelines seething with anger because they cannot obtain a ticket to gain access to a better life in America. That ticket for most of us is higher education. Thus, those of us who believe in academic meritocracy must broaden how we view "merit." That largely means empowering admissions officers to search for talent from among all students and not just the "A" average, high SAT students. In short, socioeconomic "affirmative action," in a colorblind admissions process, can be that compromise.

Women Leaders of The Am Law 100: The Law of Small Numbers
An in-depth look at the number of women serving in leadership positions at The Am Law 100.
|1 Comments
Correction, 1/3/12, 11:40 a.m. EST: The print edition of this story incorrectly stated that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher had four women on its 15-partner executive committee in 2001. The firm had four women on this committee in 2011. The 15th paragraph of the story has been revised to reflect the correct information. We regret the error.
Our question was simple. After years of measuring women's success in law firms primarily by the percentage of female equity partners, we wanted to use a more exacting standard. We wanted to know: How many women partners had advanced to the highest ranks of law firm hierarchies?
To that end, we asked each firm in The Am Law 100 to list the women partners serving in their firm's highest leadership positionsas firmwide managing partners or chairs, as members of a chief governing body or a compensation committee, as head of a practice or an office. After a fair amount of pestering, 93 firms in The Am Law 100 responded. Their answers were not surprising. There was a smattering of firms that stood out for their higher proportion of women in top leadership rolesa group that included Fulbright & Jaworski, Reed Smith, and Shook, Hardy & Bacon. These outliers had female partners who represented more than a third, or even half, of a governing or compensation committee, and they did so with a critical mass of three or more seats. But for most of the rest, the numbers of women leaders were depressingly similar.
As our in-depth interactive chart shows, it was a tale of ones and twos among many of the chief governing committees. Almost 80 percent of the 92 firms with a chief governing committee reported a committee with two or fewer women; 42 percent reported a committee with only woman partner. (Eight firms, including Bryan Cave, Cahill Gordon & Reindel, Chadbourne & Parke, Davis Polk & Wardwell, Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, Proskauer Rose, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, had at least one chief governing committee with no women partners.) There were a handful or two of female managing partners or chairs. And women were rife among professional development, diversity, recruiting, and partner nominating committees. But they were in far shorter supply when it came to the very top power structures of the firmthe select groups that chart each firm's strategic course, policies, and, of course, their pay. Membership among these governing groups isn't the only mark of power at law firms, of course, nor are these positions necessarily sought or desired by all partners. But the visibility and influence of these leadership groups is difficult to dismiss. And the relative dearth of women in these top roles is striking. As one female partner at an Am Law 100 firm put it bluntly: "Women are largely getting stuck in lower middle management. There is still a moat around the top management, and that keeps the power to a small group of men."
The reasons offered by partners and law firm leaders are, in part, familiar: that there aren't enough senior women partners or rainmakers to populate these positions. Some argue that women turn away from the time and administrative burden of these leadership positions; others minimize their significance in the relatively flat hierarchies of law firms. Almost all raised a theory of law firm relativity: We know that we should have more women in leadership positions, but we're no worse than our peers.
Against this backdrop, the firms that have a more meaningful proportion of women leaders are all the more noteworthy. And while there is no simple formula, a combination of management will, a focus on succession planning, and partnerships with clients have yielded admirable results.
The broad spectrum of management and governance structures among The Am Law 100 makes side-by-side comparisons challenging. Some firms have only one governing body, others have two or more, and a few have none (Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan). The titles and responsibilities vary, but as a group, the most common entities include some combination of a management committee, an executive or policy committee, and an executive or advisory board. To simplify, we collected the gender data for each firm's "primary governance committee," allowing firms to name up to two committees if they were of roughly equal power and importance. For consistency, we listed the smallest committee first when firms reported two committees. We also compared the gender data for the group charged with making partner compensation decisions. In some cases this was a separate compensation committee; in others it was identical to one of the firm's chief governing bodies or a subset of one. (We always listed the group responsible for compensation decisions separately in our chart, but we noted whether that group was a subset of a chief governing committee.) And lastly, we listed the gender split of office leaders, as well as practice and department leaders. We included coleaders, but not those who are second-in-command. Since it was not uncommon to have two partners coleading a practice (or one person overseeing multiple practices or offices), we calculated proportions based on total head count.
The results painted a picture where women were still very much the minority in firms' top power structures. Only 14 firms had even one governing committee with female partners accounting for more than 25 percent of its members. Among the respondents, women occupied an average of 16.8 percent (1.8 seats) of the 10.8 seats on the smallest (or only) governing committee. Among the 37 firms with a second governing body, women partners occupied an average of 20 percent (5.0 seats out of 25.8 seats) on the larger governing committee.
The data for compensation committees, practice groups, and office heads wasn't much better. On the firms' compensation committees, women occupy an average of 2.3 out of 12.8 seats (18 percent). They represent 20 percent of practice group leaders and 15 percent of office managing partners. And often, these percentages reflect a degree of double-counting: It was not uncommon for the same one or two senior women to occupy seats on multiple high-powered committees.
No one is happy with these numbers. "Clearly law firms are not where we would like to be or should be when you look at the demographics of law school graduates and incoming associates," says Morgan Lewis chair Francis Milone, a point conceded by virtually all 28 law firm leaders and partners interviewed for this story.
But there certainly weren't a shortage of explanations. The most-cited one: The higher rate of attrition among women lawyers makes any type of gender balance among leadership a virtual impossibility. With women constituting an average of only 15 percent of the equity partner ranks, it's not a surprise that the leadership ranks should be similarly weighted toward men, say many law firm leaders. "Partners making election [decisions for leaders] will be dealing with the pool that they have; if that pool is limited, the results are [going to be] limited," says Milone.

Every now and then, I love to go back through recipes that I haven't made in a while. That's exactly what I did with these hotcakes. You can find the recipe here on the site. They are super fluffy, and just what the doctor ordered on a chilly morning. You can completely customize this recipe by making a few tweaks here and there. Use 100% whole wheat or all-purpose flour (instead of using half and half)), or use half whole grain spelt flour and half white spelt. You can omit the blueberries and top your cakes with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of cinnamon, sub non-dairy milk for the orange juice, or add a little more or less milk, depending on if you like your hotcakes thick or thin. The possibilities are endless!
I hope that you enjoy these pancakes as much as we do!

By Mark PolkRV Education 101
It's a new year, and depending on where you reside, a new RV camping season is upon us.
When you take your motorhome out of winter storage and prepare it for camping, one important aspect to keep in mind is RV safety. Safety is paramount when it comes to using and enjoying our motorhomes. From pre-trip inspections to setting up and actually using the RV, there is always an element of RV safety involved.
Let's take a look at my top 7 RV safety reminders for a new camping season.
1. Tires. I could easily write an entire article on this topic alone, but I will try to sum it up in a few sentences. There are many reasons for tire failure on motorhomes. In addition to overloaded and under-inflated tires, there is the concern for aged tires. Tires are designed and built to be used. The rubber used in tires ages faster when they are not in use, so more use results in longer tire life.
The problem is many motorhome tires don't get used as often as the tires on our automobiles. When tires are manufactured, compounds are added to help protect the rubber from weather cracking and ozone damage. For these compounds to work effectively the tire needs to be rolling down the road, heating up and flexing, so the compounds can work their way to the surface of the tire and protect the rubber from damage. When tires sit idle for periods of time they start to dry out, causing them to age faster.
If your motorhome tires show signs of weather cracking or other damage, or if the tires are more than 6 years old, have them inspected by a tire professional. A simple tire inspection can save you lots of time, money and headaches.
2. Weight issues and concerns. This is another topic I could write an entire book on. Many motorhomes traveling down the road are overloaded, especially older motorhomes. To avoid becoming a statistic related to overloaded motorhomes it is important to understand how to properly weigh your motorhome.
Always keep in mind that weighing your RV is a snapshot in time. Weights can and do change according to how you load and distribute the weight in your RV, and based on many other factors. Get in the practice of weighing your motorhome periodically to stay within all weight ratings, and whenever an overload condition exists, resolve the problem before using the motorhome.
The easiest way to summarize this important safety topic is to direct you to a site where you can download informative brochures with easy-to-understand worksheets on weighing your RV. Go to www.bridgestonetrucktires.com and click on the "Brochures & Catalogs" tab and then on the "For RV Owners" tab. Download the PDF file and head to a set of scales.
3. Carbon Monoxide safety. Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas is invisible, odorless and deadly. Carbon Monoxide is created when any fuel is burned; this includes gasoline, propane, natural gas, wood and coal. It is extremely serious when combustion byproducts are not vented outside. Carbon Monoxide is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States each year. As for RVs, CO gas can result from exhaust leaks from the vehicle engine or generator, improper use of portable gas-powered heaters, improper adjustment of LP-gas fired appliances, and/or somebody else's vehicle or generator when camping in close proximity to you.
Important reminders about carbon monoxide:
4. RV fire safety. For starters it's a good idea to have more than one fire extinguisher available in your motorhome. I keep an additional fire extinguisher in an outside compartment of our RV, just in case. Try to get in a habit of inspecting your fire extinguishers periodically and before each trip. Look to see if the arrow is pointing in the green area in the sight gauge. If it reads empty or needs charging, replace it or have it recharged immediately.
Inspect all components of the extinguishers to make sure they are in proper operating condition. Inspect the safety pin, handle or trigger, sight gauge indicator, inspection tag, hose or nozzle, tank, and labeling. Monthly you should turn dry powder extinguishers upside down, tap on the bottom of the extinguisher and shake it so any powder that settled on the bottom is released. If the powder is packed in the bottom of the extinguisher it may not discharge properly, or at all, when you need it.
Important reminders about RV fire safety:
5. LP-gas safety. Your motorhome has an LP-gas leak detector to assist in leak detection. LP-gas leak detectors are located close to floor level because LP-gas is heavier than air. Before each trip make sure the LP-gas leak detector is operating properly.
What to do if you smell LP-gas or if the leak detector audible alarm goes off:
6. Emergency escape plan. Know in advance what to do in the event of an emergency, when everybody has to get out of the RV quickly and in an orderly fashion. The National Fire Protection agency requires that RVs have emergency escape windows. Make sure everybody knows where the escape window is located and how to use it. It's a good idea to practice using it so you are familiar with how to get out of the RV in case of an emergency. Have an emergency escape plan for the front of the RV and the rear of the RV.
Emergency escape plan safety reminders:
7. Free RV safety E-course. All motorhome owners should understand and practice these safety tips and reminders. To assist with RV safety training, RV Education 101 is offering a free 13-minute RV safety E-Course. Visit http://rvvideosondemand.com/?page_id=40 to access the free RV safety training. The program material is protected, so you do need to go through a simple registration process to access the training video. Follow the prompts and fill out the basic information. Next, set up your username and password, which will provide access to the RV safety training material.

Australian Urban Expansion
Australian cities and towns are constantly evolving to suit the living requirements of an ever growing population. Australia's current population of more than 22 million in 2011 has grown significantly from approximately 15 million in 1981 with the majority of population growth occuring in Australia's urban environment.
This satellite image gallery shows the expansion of Australia's major towns and cities in every State and Territory since the 1980's. Residential expansion, new infrastructure (such as freeways), and changes in environmental features including reservoirs and dams can all be seen through comparison 'swipe' imagery.
Geoscience Australia and its predecessor agencies have been acquiring satellite imagery for over 30 years resulting in an Australian Government collection continaing more than 400 000 images. The diversity of uses for this information ranges from environmental monitoring and management, to directing emergency management agencies and assisting border protection control.
This Urban Expansion Satellite Image Gallery displays both true and false colour images from the Landsat series of satellites comparing before (top image layer) and after images captured over a +20 year period. These images are also provided in high resolution JPEG format and may be freely reproduced on the condition they are accompanied with the accreditation shown in the caption for each image.

This game was very similar to the first spyro... and it was all expected. It was great for someone who just wanted to relive the joys of the game, someone like me. I dont think I'll be getting the other spyro games, A Hero's Tail was just the fix I was looking for. Over all, 5/10.more

Vote preserved county's legacy, future
The occasion of Henrico's 400th birthday this year has been the cause for celebration throughout the county in a variety of ways during the past 10 months. But in 1961, it appeared possible that the county may have celebrated its last meaningful birthday at the age of 350.
Henrico found itself on life support that year, its lengthy and rich history threatened by the possibility of a merger with the City of Richmond. The impetus for such action: Henrico's success and rapid growth – made clear to city officials by the 1960 Census, which showed the city's population had fallen by more than 10,000 residents since 1950, while Henrico's had grown by nearly 60,000 during the same period.
The idea was spurred in large part by the Greater Richmond Committee, an umbrella organization created by three Richmond civic and business associations whose members felt the city would become stronger by enveloping its neighbor, author and historian Nelson Wikstrom wrote in his 2003 book County Manager Government in Henrico, Virginia: Implementation, Evolution and Evaluation.
Ultimately, the push for a merger came to a public vote in each jurisdiction Dec. 12, 1961. Voters in Richmond largely favored the plan, with nearly 70 percent voting in support of it. But Henrico voters, perhaps encouraged by the public opposition of the chairman and vice chairman of the county's Board of Supervisors to the plan, shot it down by a vote of 61 percent to 39 percent.
Their decision prompted the city to file an annexation lawsuit seeking the forceful acquisition of nearly all of Henrico; led to a three-year legal debate on the matter; and ultimately helped to preserve the county in the form citizens know it today, ranking it fourth on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant moments in Henrico's 400-year-history.
A desirable neighbor
By the late 1950s, Henrico County had built itself into a strong and progressively urbanized community. The county maintained its own secondary road system, which allowed it to carefully plan for sensible growth in a systematic way. Interstate 64 soon would cut a path from one end of the county through the other, providing quick access to and from the city and beyond. Henrico was becoming the location of choice for many who worked, shopped and played in the
city, and Richmond officials realized it.
City officials felt they needed Henrico and its growing tax base in order to survive, according to a Sept. 25, 1961 Associated Press article, since there was little room for expansion left in Richmond's 40 square miles. Conversely, Henrico's 232 square miles offered endless potential. Merging the two would provide the tax revenue necessary to sustain Richmond, city officials believed.
The Greater Richmond Committee and Richmond Regional Planning District Commission commissioned a study by the Public Administration Service in 1959 to analyze the benefits of a merger. Perhaps predictably, the report concluded that the idea would be mutually beneficial to both localities and their residents. Henrico's Board of Supervisors, as Wikstrom wrote, commissioned its own study the following year, which concluded the county was serving its citizens
efficiently and didn't need the city's help.
Still, the county agreed to study its options with the city, so both jurisdictions established three-member committees of businessmen to analyze options jointly. The six men met frequently in early 1961, but Henrico citizens began to question the process, which seemed too secretive to some, Wikstom wrote. Soon, an editorial in the Henrico
Herald newspaper blasted the idea of a merger.
"The more we think about the present 'negotiations' of the Richmond and Henrico commissions to study the feasibility of consolidation, the more convinced we become that Henrico has been 'sold down the river,'" it read, according to Wikstrom's book.
By August 1961, the six-member committee had formalized a proposal: the localities would merge as of Jan. 1, 1963 into a five-borough jurisdiction – Brookland, Fairfield, Richmond, Three Chopt and Tuckahoe – encompassing the entirety of both city and county. The proposal called for a 66-month interim period during which an 11-member council would govern the new jurisdiction (to be known as Richmond) – one member from each of the county districts, four from the old city of Richmond and three at-large members from the new jurisdiction. Afterwards, the plan proposed that the council consist of nine members elected on an at-large basis.
The proposal would have made the new-look Richmond the fifth-largest city in land area at the time, increasing it to 232 square miles and bumping up its population from about 220,000 to about 337,000.
Opposition grows
But the proposal seemed flawed to some observers and Henrico citizens, including several prominent ones who championed loudly against it. For example, it proposed gradually raising Henrico's real estate tax rate – which was slated to decrease by 10 cents per $100 of assessed value in July 1961 – to the higher city rate during a 14-
year period.
Though the county's Board of Supervisors officially endorsed the plan, its chairman, Simeon Burnette of the Fairfield District, and vice chairman, B. Earl Dunn of the Brookland District, soon thereafter voiced their opposition to it publicly. As Wikstrom described in his book, both men felt the proposal would unfairly raise taxes on county residents without providing them services that would be on par with the higher costs.
When county voters went to the polls Dec. 12, 1961, they did so with the words of Richmond City Manager Horace Edwards perhaps ringing in their ears. Edwards had promised that if the vote didn't pass, the city would sue to annex Henrico instead. Following the overwhelming rejection of the plan in Henrico, the Richmond City Council gave his
statement legs by filing a lawsuit seeking 142 square miles of the county, which contained all but 8,000 of Henrico's residents at the time.
"In pursuit of such a large area," Wikstrom wrote, "Richmond was effectively seeking to acquire the entire county. In reality, Henrico's remaining area of approximately 90 square miles would have hardly contained a nearly sufficient population and resources to support and fund a county government able to provide public education and other essential services."
The annexation suit, in essence, was a direct threat to Henrico's existence.
During the annexation case, heard by the Henrico Circuit Court, Henrico County Manager Ed Beck testified that the county didn't need any help providing for its citizens and that in fact, annexation would result in less efficient provision of services for those residents. The court delivered its verdict in April 1964, awarding the city just 17 square miles (containing 45,000 residents) of Henrico, mostly in the Near West End and Northside – regions that included Willow Lawn, the Azalea Mall and the Reynolds Metals headquarters, Wikstrom wrote.
Following some wrangling by both sides about what the land was worth, and the slight adjustment of the actual boundaries of the land to be annexed, the court ordered Richmond to pay Henrico $55 million for its acquisition.
More than three years after the debate about a merger began – and nearly a year after the court's decision was delivered – the Richmond City Council considered the offer, weighed the fee, and then voted in early 1965 to decline the offer, which it felt was too steep. Several years of consideration, debate and legal contests ultimately had
resulted in nothing.
In the 46 years since that decision, the city has seen its population drop by more than 15,000 residents. In the same period of time, Henrico's population has grown by more than 180,000.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Great tequilas (like Hacienda de los Diaz) and some standout dishes (like Rellenos en Nogada) – As far as Mexican restaurants go, many of the dishes are somewhat above average--but a few dishes are standouts in the "Bay Area Mexican dining" category. I truly enjoy myself at Mexquite. This place is more 'restaurant' than 'tequila lounge' (the two terms they use to describe themselves), but if you want an experience that blends good food with 'some' 'lounge' feel (which in my opinion makes for the best *dining* experience anyhow), this is a great place to go. The tequila and drinks selection is excellent, and they will readily provide you with shots of high-quality tequila at good prices. My favorite 'flight' would be milagro blanco, Hacienda de los Diaz reposado, and 7 leguas or Tesoro anejo.

Former trooper plans run for sheriff
By Kayla Carter
Retired Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Dexter Lunceford has announced plans to run against Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes in the May 2014 Republican Primary.
Lunceford, an honorably discharged U.S. Marine Corps veteran, is 56 and originally from the Fish Springs community.
Mathes said he was not surprised by Lunceford's announcement.
"I don't think it's any real surprise to anyone that Dexter would be running," Mathes said. "He has run for several things before, but I welcome the challenge."
Lunceford retired from the THP in June of last year and said he decided he wanted to run for the sheriff position about a year ago.
"I want to give something back to the community," Lunceford said. "I don't want to get into any details.

Of the first 10 games that finished last night, 20 teams played (obviously) and 35 goals were scored. Or a 1.75 GAA (give or take, not calculating the five minute OTs). Coaching and goaltending really are at all time peak, and as much as a good 2-1 game can be entertaining, I long for the 4-3 and 5-4 games and I hope that the NHL adapts again with another rule tweak or two.
Did you see Coach's Corner Saturday? Don Cherry was anti-touch icing (again) and pro-bringing back the red line. The icing I'm on board with, of course. Skaters racing for the puck doesn't add any excitement for me – at most I would enjoy it once every 50 games. If it's tight and saving that icing really meant a lot. But what would make the game even more exciting is shaving off a second or two each icing because it's blown dead when the puck crosses the line. Get to the faceoff dot sooner, get back at it sooner, etc. Anyway, I digress. That suggestion of bringing back the two-line offside is a poor one. When Cherry was showing highlights of stretch passes and sarcastically saying "real exciting" and "ooh so exciting"…I actually was excited. I loved those passes. Please don't take them from me. That is all.
Vrbata alert. Late with this one, should have noted it yesterday. But he has a five-game points streak now and we all know how he works. Before this he was pointless in three and before that he had a five-game points streak. Prior to that it was points in two out of eight. And so on, you know how he does things. So while this could be the tail end of another quick hot run, it could also run a little longer. He has 25 goals already, just two off his career high.
Mike Smith has tied his career high for games played with 42. He's already buried his career high in wins (21).
Sergei Kostitsyn had 11 points in the first 14 games, then four in 18. And now 15 in his last 16. Mike Fisher has 17 in those 16 games.
Craig Smith is still seeing low ice time, conserving him for the long schedule, but he's seeing a lot of power-play time. That's at the expense of Kostitsyn, who saw just 34 seconds last night.
The twins were split up last night. For the most part. Daniel played with Kesler and Burrows while Henrik played with Raymond and Bitz. That's Byron Bitz. And Bitz actually saw a bit of time with both brothers at once. In two games this season, he has two points (both last night), is plus-2 with five PIM. At this point I would only pick him up if you're extremely desperate for a very short-term solution or if you have tons of transactions you can do and space for him on your bench. He holds zero long-term fantasy value, but there might be something there for three or four games. But he's playing with the right people right now.
Marc-Andre Bergeron was back in the TB lineup last night but only played about 13 minutes. He was a minus-2. Remember when he had 15 points in the first 13 games? Some quick math here… yep, nine points in 30 games since.
Erik Karlsson played 32:44 last night. I think that's the highest I've seen out of anybody all season.
Every once in awhile, Patrik Berglund pokes his head up on the scoresheet to say "hi". Very nice of him.
After eight shots on goal Saturday, leading me to think he was ready to bust out of his slump, Kevin Shattenkirk fires zero shots on net Tuesday.
Craig Anderson got pulled after giving up two goals on four shots. He runs extremely hot/cold, the Senators run extremely hot/cold. Chicken, or egg?
David Savard scored his first career NHL goal for the Jackets and added an assist. The spark he needs? Both points were at even strength.
Jeff Carter has scored in each of his two games since returning.
That's two shutouts in three games for Tomas Vokoun and I have to think that the Caps will ride the hot hand here. And with Ovechkin finding the net again, they could be peeling off the wins. To me it looks like the Panthers and the Sens will be battling for eighth. We'll see if I'm right. Florida has games in hand, but they had an incredible October.
Evgeni Nabokov STOLE one last night with 45 saves in a shootout shutout. In his last six games he has stopped 189 of 195 shots. White hot right now. White hot. Driving up his trade value like it's going out of style and that is why Garth Snow claimed him last year in the first place.
Danny Briere was back in the lineup but it didn't impact Brayden Schenn's ice time as he saw 16:24.
Matt Read saw more ice time than any forward except Giroux. Clearly coach Laviolette is taking the opposite approach with his college rookie that Barry Trotz is taking with his.
Washington lines last night – Johansson with Ovechkin and Brouwer; Halpern with Hendricks and Ward; Perreault with Chimera and Semin; Laich with Aucoin and Knuble. Yes, Laich returned to action.
Today's Studs and Duds can be found here.
Oh man, I really found this funny – Wyshynski with some great sarcasm on Claude Julien's grumpy answers to Nathan Horton concussion questions.
Slava Voynov is one of the better defensemen in Los Angeles, but he's been getting scratched lately. The team is deep, there are lots of politics involved here too. And I'm never comfortable when a talented Russian is getting scratched because he always has other options. Going home – family, friends, lots of money and star treatment. Or staying here for this treatment? It comes down to how appealing the NHL is to them. You just never know. I was 100% certain that Radulov would never go to the KHL.
The Oilers have recalled Magnus Paajarvi to replace Hopkins, who is out for the next 10 days or so.
Tyson Barrie played 15:49 in his NHL debut, but the Avs had zero PP time to really test him out. Only three penalties called all game, each against Colorado.
Travis Zajac will have his Achilles examined today. It looks like trouble, from this vantage point.
The Isles signed Frans Nielsen to a four-year deal, $11 million.
Should this have been a goal?
Lockedge said:
Obviously a no goal. Ranger player would have come in contact with Brodeur in some form or another prior to the goal being scored.
Pengwin7 said:
2. No need to bring back the redline.
Stupid quirky rule change thought that just popped into my head.
What if... each time a team ices the puck their "Icings" stat goes up.
(similar to counting "Fouls" in basketball).
On their next powerplay, they get an added 5 seconds of time for each of their opponents "Icings".
Detroit ices the puck 4 times during the start of the game.
They get called for a penalty.
Toronto goes on the PP for 2:20.
Just a thought for longer powerplays and making each icing seem... like a bigger no-no.
Uzair said:
This isn't a surprise though, Elliott is the one with more offensive upside of the two while Barrie in junior was always better defensively. However, Barrie is capable of putting up pts too and at least he's competent at passing the puck unlike three certain other Avs defensive dmen.
Fred Poulin said:
UKflames said:
Your first point is also very valid, watching games you can see the interference, holding and hooking creeping back in and refs aren't calling it. Post lock out if you dumped the puck in you couldn't interfere with the forward coming in, it was a foot race to the puck. Now we are back to the situation where the the puck is dumped in, the first D man impedes the forward and the second D or a backchecking forward retrieves the puck. Whilst this may not effect the overall scoring, as per Andrew, it is starting to slow down the game to pre lockout.

The average over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was 2.87, roughly the equivalent of 3-2 games (5-6 goals a game).
I'd love 5-4 and 4-3 games, but the last time we statistically had those was 1986 when the goals per game average was around 8. http://www.quanthockey.com/TS/TS_GoalsPerGame.php
With that, we're actually pretty stable in regards to goals per game. The average has been between 5 and 6 for the last 15 years.
Taking the small sample of the last 4 days we're at 4.97, so at the low end of the range but still on par with what to expect.
